E3 2017: A “Core” Pokemon RPG for Nintendo Switch is Coming

Nintendo have revealed that a “core Pokemon RPG” is in development for Nintendo Switch.

Very little else is known other than that it is coming. Making the announcement just after talking about upcoming Poke-fighter Pokken Tournament DX, one of the designers from Game Freak made the announcement.

He stated that the Pokemon RPG is in development and it may be over a year a way. Best not hold our breaths then.

It is exciting that it is coming, for sure. I have always been under the belief that Nintendo would have a licence to print money if they put one of their “proper” Pokemon titles onto their home console. Now it seems that it might finally be happening.

We’ll get you more information as soon as it becomes available.

How ready are you for this? It feels like a long time coming. Let us know in the comments below or on the RGM Forums.
